Lots of voices (perhaps more than ever before) clamor for our att…

In an age where everyone has their own sources, experts, scientists and theories to back something up how do we discern what’s really true and what’s false?

Kyle Kauffman | Nov 12 2023 Who gets the final say in what is true in your life? Who do you look to tell you what is true? Who are the authorities you submit to? Authority and truth are inevitably connected because we will look to some authority to determine what is true. But we are prone to have a skepticism and cynicism towards authority. As sinf…

Kyle Kauffman | Nov. 5 2023 What is truth? It’s a question that’s as old as time. And it’s a question that’s as important as life itself. We ask this question because we want to know what is true and what is false.

Joel Wood | Oct. 29 2023 One of the storylines we can find traced throughout the Bible is that there is a cosmic, unseen, spiritual war that is happening throughout history. It is not simply a war of good vs. evil or of two equally competing powers. Rather it is a war between God and Satan. It is a war that Satan started when he attempted to take G…

Kyle Kauffman | Oct 22 2023 Our relationships with other people can simultaneously be one of the greatest gifts we experience in this life and one of the greatest challenges we face in this life.

Kyle Kauffman | Oct 15 2023 One of God’s resounding commands that travels across the pages of the Bible and across time and history for his people is this: “Be holy for I am holy.” We find in Ephesians that one of the very purposes why God chose to save us and why and why Jesus died on the cross for us is to make us holy. It’s really easy for us to…

Brandon Fisher | Sept 17 2023 Our view of the church is so often small and inadequate. We have misconceptions of the church or we misunderstand the true nature of the church.

Kyle Kauffman | August 13 2023 How does fearing God overcome our fear of failing at something in this life? We are often terrified to step out and try something new or to step up and lead something because we are scared of failing and not living up to expectations.
